First piece of artwork - A Flag

I am such a proud mother.  Tyler had his first piece of artwork sent home today.  It is a flag.  He got to use glue.  I was so excited to see the first piece of artwork come home.

Waiting to go into school

We got to school a little early today so Tyler was being cute.  I started taking some cute pictures of him.

I had to laugh when the teacher came to the car to get him, she told me that he is just so cute.  She loves it when he sings in the bathroom. 

I am so proud he is doing so well at school.

First Day of Preschool

Well it is official I have a pre-schooler!  I was so excited and nervous to drop him off.  He did not even look back as I drove away.

I had 2 hours of quiet because Nate slept the entier time Ty was gone, so what did I do.... Paint.  I was so nervous...

I go there and was told that he did not want to share.  He thought that a toy that he was playing with befre was his forever.  Normal 3 year old behavior.  I was so embarrased as his mom. 

I thougth that he would go in do well and the teacher would say how well he did.  I need to work on sharing I guess!

Preschool Open house

My baby is growing up.  We had his Preschool Open house.  He is so excited to go to school.

 

My men.  Getting ready for Tyler's first day.

 

 

Here is me and my boy.  I am so proud fo him.  He is getting so big

Preschool Countdown

I am getting excited.  My oldest is going to be starting preschool next week.  I can't believe that he is going to start school.

It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital.  Now he will be in preschool two days a week for two hours.  I hate it when he is away from mommy.  I want to protect him.  I know that I need to let him experience this on his own.

I am so excited because this is opening up a whole new chapter in his life.  He is going to make some new friends.  He is going to start going to birthday parties.  He is going to have play dates.  It is going to be so much fun for him.

I am such a proud mother.  We went shopping for school clothes today.  It make everything so much more real.  I look forward to taking pictures on the front step with his back pack on the first day.  that is going to be so exciting.

Teaching Cutting

Since Tyler is going ot be starting school in the fall, I decided to start having him learn how to use scissors. Here is his first try with scissors.

He did pretty good. I can't complain!!!

We even put together an e-how video on how to teach children to cut. Check it out.

Forms

Tyler starts preschool in the fall, so I decided I should get the paperwork completed so that we can send it in.  I don't beleive how much paperwork is needed to send your kid to preschool... Come on.  I understand that the need to know all of this information, but this seems like alot.

I think that these types of forms should be up with the times - be able to be mailed to you.  You fill them out on the computer, print, sign and send in.  That way addresses can be automatically filled in once you do it one time.  

Have you ever noticed that the spaces they give you are so small.  I know that I have big hand writing so that could be part of the problem.  But I can't believe how hard it is to fit everything in the little spaces.  

I am so glad that everything is done and I can send it in today.  That will be one thing off of my shoulders to make room for something else - Laundry!!
